CLEARLY it is an error to look upon
riding after hounds as spiritless sport.
1t requires nerve and good horseman-

To ride well and be able to take Long

hours and dissipation, any thing that
tends to disturb the nerves, must be
avoided. 1t seems to me much more
sensible form of amusement than loiter-
ing about in club and drinking all day
long. 1t takes the young men out of
doors, where they breathe pure air, and
the excitement is only of the kind that
is good for healthy man. There is
some danger of course. but it is in hui
man nature to crave a certain amount
of that. There is danger in yacht

other sports. Perhaps there's more
danger in riding at fences andlscurry-

A Rat Running a Mil.

An ingenious Chicago boy, fourteen
years old, has been amusing himself
lately educating a large gray rat to
work on tread-mill, and furnish the
power to drive miniature oil rig,
which he constructed with jaek-knife.
A paper publisher at Oil City, Pa, says:
"For one of his age, the boy has won-
derful knowledge of mechanics, and
his device shows great ingenuity and
skill. His parents reside in Chicago,
and he has been living with his uncle
here the past three months. Shortly
after he came to Oil City. he caught
monster rat by means of a snare which
he had made, and went TO work to do
mesticate it, In this he was partially
successful, rs the rat is now quito
tame. The tread-mill is made of the
light wood of a cigar-boX.'

Come and fold your paws,

All about the laws
That keep the stars and moons you see
What 1Cds it mamma sadO
I'll have to make u 'Stronomy
All out of my own head.
First place-mind you answer right
How many moons-yes, four!
There's the big moon that shines so bright
When God looks out the door
Then the old moon that fades away
TO nothing but ghost,
And the half moon that comes by day
You're fast asleep-almos1!
Then there comes the baby moon
(That l like the best)
That grows and grows till pretty soon
It's grown-up like the rest,
haven't told you bout the stars
They're eyes a-peepin out,
Sharper than papa's or mamma's,
So mind what you're about!
There's other things in Stronomy-
You've learned enough TO day.
Ia like some pieccs-two or three
When God throws moons away.

A SQUIRREL CAGE.

Pretty House for Their Pets at Small

Those boys who would like some.
quick, easy, cheap carpentry, may
make good substantial squirrel cage
in the following manner: Take piece.
OF board an inch thick, eighteen inches.
wide and three feet long for the bottom.
Fasten upright boards about three feet
high at each end, with the ends round
ed. Now buy from any dealer in hard
ware, piece of coarse, strong wire net
ting long enough to 90 over youl.
wooden frame; nail it securely to the
end pieces, and to the bottom board on
one side, bending it over the rounded
top. If you nail with stout taclls, the,
fastening will be strong enough, and
there will be no danger of splitting
the wood of the ends.
Along the front of the cage the net
ting should stop within three inches of
the bottom, so as to leave room to put
in drawer, like the drawer of a bird
cage, which you must pull out and
clean every day. Make this drawer of
sheet of tin. Any tinsmith will turn
up the sides for you, leaving the front.
little higher than the other side and
ends in order to overlap the netting
on the outside.
If you can procure the wire netting
only of a certain width, grade the
length of your cage accordingly.
If hrn n N
bough of some hard wood, fasten it Sc
curely from end to end of the cage be-.
fore putting on the wire covering, as.
your pet will enjoy climbing about on
it much better than running in a re-
volving cylinder, which is neither
healthy nor natural exercise for q
squirrel. The end boards should also.
be lined with tin if they are not hard
wood, as the sharp teeth of your pet
will soon make havoc with them.
Now for the door: Cut a neat, square
door, four by four inches, and about
the end pieces; you can fasten it by
hinges and small button.
For the sleeping apartment cut
round hole in the other end board
near the bottom, about three inches in
diameter, and then fasten upon the
outside neat little tin box, the bot
tom of which must be level with that
of the cage, so as to present the APP
pearance of a tiny extension. In this
box there must be a hinged door,
large enough to allow you to change
the bedding frequently, which should
be of clean, dry moss or of cotton
wool.
You can also cut small hole in the
wire netting at the top of the cage
large enough to admit nut, and your
squirrel will soon learn to climb up and
take food from your hand. After cut.
ting the hole, bend back the ends of
the wires, so as to leave no sharp edges.
Give the squirrel little milk OCCASION
ally. You can put water in dish like
a canary's bathing-cup, which is low
enough to slide in and out with the
drawer. The squirrel will soon learn
to eat bread, wheat and corn, and if
gently handled will soon learn to como
when called and run over his master.
If you are ingenious. you can make n
neat and comfortable cage from these
directions at trilling cxpense.-Cdrios

THE OLD NEST.

A nest hung rocking on "a tree,
With father-bird mother-bird, little birds three.
But the first little bird tried its wings and flew,
And the wee little nestlings were only two.
And ere they knew it, the second bird
The note OF a sweetvoiced songster heard.
And the third little bird, left alone in the nest
Looked over the edge, and was gone with the
rest.
Then the father and mother-bird sat alone,
For the three little birds from the nest had
flown.
And the father-bird sang but feeble note,
And the mother bird stified the sob in her
throat
For what is nest on a lovely tree
Without the dear little nestlings threeS

Franks of a Church Mouse.

The soft strains of the organ in the
Birmingham Episcopal church were
floating on the air, and the congrega-
ton were just composing themselves for
prayer. when the profound silence in
the church was broken by piercing
shrek. At the same instant that the
shrek rang through the church ayoung
woman who was singing in the choir
gallery leaped from her seat and jumped
so high that she nearly fell over the
gallery rail. She continued to comfort
her body violently, explaining to her
associates that there was something on
her back" The organist, II young man
of nerve, played through to the end of
his music. No one saw any thing UNI
usual on her back, but finally to satisfy
her the organist took of her plush
cloak, and there, costly perched upon
the top of her hustle, sat mouse,
bright-eyed and paralyzed with terror.
In spite of the solemnity of the occasion
the organist laughed aloud, and the
female members of the choir jumped up
on the seats and drew their dresses
tightly around them. The mouse
escaped. boston Globe.

Death of a Noble Woman.

Those who knew Anandabai Joshee,
the Hindoo woman who studied medi-
cine in this city and who graduated and
took the M. D. degree in 1886, and who
at all understood the nature of the mis-
sion she undertook, will hear with the
very sincerest of regret of her death. 1t
requires much courage for an American
woman to study medicine and to prac-
tice it as profession, but this Hindoo
woman, in undertaking this study, vio-
lated some of the most important ira
ditions of her race and defied the most
bigoted opinions of the social order to
which she belonged. She did what she
did because she knew that there was
urgent and pressing need in India for
the ministrations of fe male physicians,
and her memory deserves to be held in
lasting honor for the courage and con-
sistency with which she sought to per-
form great and pressingly important
duty.-Philadetphia Telegraph.
